The New York Times is reporting that a prominent former doctor at the Rockefeller University Hospital likely sexually abused many of his former patients, mostly young and teenage boys who sought treatment for growth problems. Dr. Reginald Archibald worked at the hospital from the 1940s to 1980, during which time he reportedly forced patients to masturbate in front of him, touched them in a sexual manner and took pictures of them naked. He died in 2007.
